And you can specify multiple monitor sections for these CRTCs. Roughly,
as follows:

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "LVDS"
	Option "Below" "VGA"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier "VGA"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier "Video Board Dual"
	Driver "intel"
	Option "Monitor-LVDS" "LVDS-below"
	Option "Monitor-VGA" "VGA"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Screen Dual"
	Device		"Video Board Dual"
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Virtual 1600 1968
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier "dual"
	Screen 0 "Screen Dual"
	InputDevice "Keyboard"
	InputDevice "Mouse"
EndSection
